We thought we were going to close on our house June 6th, but found out 3 DAYS before closing that they wouldn't give us the loan until Kent started working, so we moved it to June 24th.
Had a nice Father's Day.
Picked 7 lbs. of strawberries and made a few jars of strawberry jam - YUM!
Morgan turned 7!
Kent started work at Cummins and stayed in a hotel for a week while I attempted to hold down the fort by myself for a whole week - EXHAUSTING AND STRESSFUL! Still trying to do that.
ALMOST didn't close on the house on the 24th - loan officer asked for more last minute information, which made me have to search, email, fax, and call people like crazy! The lady seems a little airheady and forgetful - SOOO not going to recommend her to anyone! BUT we DID close at 5 p.m. on the 24th, ordered carpet and then spent Saturday cleaning and washing walls to get ready for all the painting we will be doing.
So now Kent is living in the house (he calls it his bachelor pad!) and we will be making trips down there to paint before the carpet gets installed.
Gave our 30-day notice to Richfield this week. Yay!!!
Laminated chore charts for the kids (got the cute idea from my cousin-thanks Angie! I need some kind of organization this summer!).
Started shopping at CVS again to load up on ECBs.
Haven't cooked a real meal except spaghetti and chicken with rice since Kent has been gone.
Started Callie on rice cereal and now sweet potatoes. Think she likes the sweet potatoes better. Still getting up with her 3 times a night, but the last one is around 6 a.m. and I just feed her and make her go back to sleep until 7.
Tyler tried having Kent pull his super loose top tooth because his permanent tooth started to come in above it, but it didn't come out - poor guy felt a lot of pain for no reason!
Finished the summer reading program. Kind of hate doing it because I feel like I am FORCING them to read instead of them reading because they enjoy it.
Scouring the internet, library books, ideas from other people, and remembering things we have done in the past so that Morgan isn't CONSTANTLY bored and needing something to do! Morgan and our neighbor decided to have a lemonade stand - she earned $7! We went to pick something out, but decided to wait and have another stand at our new house so that she can get something a little more expensive.
Signed Morgan up for swim lessons to help with her boredom!
Remembering how cute and adorable Harrison really is when he sits down with me at night to listen to a book and being able to forget how endless his whining, pestering his sisters and tuning my requests out during the day can be!
Trying to find fun things to do that are fairly easy to do with 4 kids! We went to the Clegg Botanical Garden on one of the chilly days. The kids loved it and so did I!
Taking pictures of Callie and her cuteness!
SOO excited to get going on all the improvements I'm planning to do to the house!

sounds buuuusy! I'm exhausted just reading this.
Wow! I'm with Jessica. That made me tired. You are amazing. It is so hard to do the mom thing on your own. Callie is adorable, wish she and Calvin could hang out :) Can't wait to your house. Wish we were neighbors, but it's fun to connect on blogs!
